HandBrake A useful cross platform encoding program
Specifications • Size: 6.9 to 7.5 Mb, depending on OS • Operating System Compatibility: Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux and forks of Ubuntu Linux (Mint, Kubuntu, Mythbuntu, etc.) • License: GPL (free!)
Features • Powerful- my encode for a 3:54 file was 2:30 to 3:30, depending on file format and encoder • Great FAQ- it's a full wiki! • Lots of presets for different devices- android, Sony PSP, new IPods, Apple TVs, IPad, and more!
Drawbacks: • Only encodes to two file formats: MKV and MP4 • Installation can be complex if you have not used the command line before • Layout can be confusing to new users
